Child Development Centers (CDC)

As a parent, who you entrust with the care of your children is critical. Our Child Development Centers are nationally accredited and staffed by well-trained professionals you can trust to care for your little ones ages six months to five years. CDCs are truly developmental, with programs to enhance social skills, encourage children to think and reason, promote language and literacy, build physical development and skills, and much more!

In addition to Child Development Centers, childcare is available from individual caregivers in their homes both on and off base through the Family Child Care (FCC) program. Many families use FCC while on waiting lists for the Child Development Centers. Others prefer the home environment FCC offers.

We also have programs to help you meet the mission without worrying about the well-being of your children. :

AF Child and Youth Programs is very excited to introduce to you a new

families seeking child care. This site will allow families to search for
and request care from a wide range of military operated and military
subsidized child care options across all Services to include Child
Development Centers, School Age Programs, and Family Child Care Homes.
Additional benefits from Child and Youth Programs (CYP) are standardized
procedures for effective waiting list management, expedited placement of
children and youth into available programs, and enhanced daily operations
for programs.
